Khabarovsk

In the second half of the 1930s, the Soviet government was contemplating building an armored leader. In 1935, two preliminary designs were drawn up, one of which included five variants. The project was assigned number 24, and the final draft saw the light of day in 1936. However, the Navy's senior officials eventually decided in favor of more conventional destroyers and leaders. In 1939, the idea of an armored leader became the subject of discussion once again, resulting in a technical specification being drawn up. The design, known as Project 47, was never implemented due to the outbreak of war.
